Sustainability Strategy

A strategy built on a theory of change, tested before launch, with the assumptions written down where everyone can see them.

Who it is for: Leadership teams who need a plan that survives a board challenge, an auditor and a journalist.

The problem

The problem

Most sustainability strategies are a target with a gap analysis stapled to it. They fail because nobody tested the assumptions between today and the target, and because no single named person owns the difficult parts.

How we work it

Think → Believe → Create

Think

Systems mapping with your leadership and the people closest to the operation. We surface the loops, the dependencies and the incentives currently pulling against the target.

Believe

The riskiest assumptions in the strategy get tested first, at small scale, before they are budgeted. You find out what does not work while it is still cheap.

Create

A sequenced roadmap with named owners, decision gates, resourcing and a measurement framework tied directly to the theory of change.

Formats

  • Twelve-week strategy sprint
  • Net zero pathway development
  • Theory of change and impact measurement design
  • Ongoing advisory retainer

Outcomes

  • A board-ready strategy with the assumptions and evidence attached
  • A sequenced roadmap with owners and decision gates
  • A measurement framework that tells you early when you are off track

Strategy engagements typically run from $25k to $50k.
